Description Martin Jambor 2024-05-05 17:40:18 UTC

Package aalib does not build with gcc 14 because it misses an include
(and perhaps viloates a few other C99 requirements that gcc 14 now
treats as errors instead of just warning):

Comment 1 Martin Jambor 2024-05-07 11:11:47 UTC

Because the issues are numerous (mainly a very old autoconf in aaview but not just that), I think the proper thing to do is to use -fpermissive here:

This is not enough, old configure script does not create "proper" main
functions and so the package still fails.

Somehow setting CFLAGS is not enough to prevent this, setting optflags
like in the submission from comment #1 is.

Comment 4 Martin Jambor 2024-07-04 15:08:57 UTC

https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/1185421 adds the two more -fpermissive  uses that were missing in the request mentioned in comment #2.

Comment 5 Martin Jambor 2024-07-18 15:58:52 UTC

With more -fpermissive flags the package finally builds, keeping the bug open to track uses of the flag in the distribution.
